    Do you really believe any of that will happen when it didn't happen 10 years ago when the IMF were strolling around Merrion Square?

    I don’t think so either but the usual targets like PAYE workers will suffer- public and private sector workers

    I cant comment on others ...I am working so yeah. There will always be wasters.

    What the hell do you think us public servants earn.

    Govt will be penniless so sadly you'll probably be getting a cut.

    At least you'll still have work and still have full pay now.

    jesus if I earned 60K LOL

    most of my colleagues are less than 30K - most start at 24K

    Im on 37K but thats after 20 years - but no increment. No increase due to me for the rest of the time in public sector.

    Very impressive that community transmission is as low as it is

    I think we had a banking day years ago as people were paid by cheque (maybe 20 years ago).

    In private sector we had bonuses and shopping day :)

    who are these well paid doing nothing public servants

    Don't some public sector workers still get a "productivity allowance" if they started before a certain time?

    Someone on 60k would have staff I would think so some responsibility surely?
    Definitely not the norm in my experience

    Thanks, but fear not, we will be fine.

    Once things restart everything will bounce back quicker than people think, I have no doubt about it.

    I earn a bit more than that and don’t have staff. Work shift though so that brings it up. Also at home doing nothing as my job isn’t possible to do at home but still getting paid.

    Good. I have no issue with pay cuts, embargos etc for us public servants. They need to reopen everything though and tell us what the plan is.

    That's 36400 into your pocket, which would equate to about a 50k salary

    I’m confused, what will be the benefit of extending lockdown when the majority of new cases and over 50% of deaths are in care homes? 593 is apparently how many deaths are from care homes. Most of the rest are also over 70s.

    Is the threat big for people below 70?

    Big enough to justify destroying our economy?

    The Covid payment is taxable.

    I suppose the question on my mind is when we do go back to the office/work places how will sick pay be treated for those who do get cov-19

    Currently we (public servants) will get full pay if its Cov 19 but I do think that cant last.

    I work in a university and we are working on the idea of classes remaining online into September 2020 aswell.
